Synthesis of silicon microwire
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 January 2011
Abstract
Silicon microwires have been synthesized by the Taylor microwire process. In this process, silicon is melted inside a glass tube by a local heating source and fine microwire is then drawn out by mechanical pulling. The silicon microwire is encapsulated in a silica glass coating. Flexible 10–25-μm diameter polycrystalline silicon microwires were synthesized by this method in continuous lengths up to 460 mm.
